Trade Adviser with Beacon Economics will also be joining the show to
discuss the West coast port situation. The main stream media is just now
recognizing how this issue could impact the U.S. economy, and several
respondents in the Report on Business(R) have commented that the West

material and sub-assembly part arrivals from Asia. The port situation
has also hit retail hard and may even begin to cause layoffs on assembly
lines. Learn how your business could be impacted at 1:00 p.m. EST today
